Between this and Duke Nukem Forever Gearbox just seem determined to polish various turds in an effort to convince us we're eating gourmet chocolate. Unless one of the footnotes in the patch reads "tweaked engine by replacing it with something out of this decade" or "the AI's missing chromosome has been identified and replaced" then I can't imagine how they possibly expect this piece of fucking sputum to be passable as anything other than a joke.

Congratulations Gearbox you managed to fuck up the goodwill you'd spent decades earning with Brothers in Arms. I look forward to laughing as you struggle to realize why your more recent trend of NOT ACTUALLY MAKING YOUR OWN FUCKING GAMES is having an impact on sales.

Don't forget about fluid animations and the gameplay that they promised in the trailers.

Its like reading
"Pontiac Aztek..Now available in a new green color with slightly less plastic body cladding".

My apologies in advance if you do in fact own a Pontiac Aztek.

Gearbox, it's way too late to be trying to fix this broken mess of a game.

The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.

The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.

Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.

I still play AvP on PS3 to this day. That game had fun multiplayer too.
